Live Hummingbird Nest Cam – Oceanside, CA

Your watching a live broadcast of wild female hummingbirds nesting.

There are several Hummers that nest in this yard. Their nests are usually located bushes and no larger than the size of a golf ball. The nest is made from feathers, leaves and other parts of plant matter. She then wraps this material together with spider webs. The eggs she lays are about the size of a breath mint(tic-tac). Hummingbirds lay 1 or 2 eggs per clutch. You can expect to see them hatch after about 14-16 days from the date they are laid. The chicks will continue to grow in the nest for about three to four weeks before fledging. More information about the cams, set-up or to make a donation please visit alyssasnaturesanctuary.org.

Does “code” mean it might be a dangerous birth, or just on watch for birth?

Good morning Bella Buds. I didn’t sleep too good last night, but I seem to be doing pretty good. It seems I kept waking up, going through my doctor’s visit, trying to remember things said. Surgery would require 10-12 weeks off the foot, then a boot, recuperation. All that would last about 6 months, then repeat on other foot so a year all together. Risk of infection. I know about that, remember the knee infection? That took a year and nearly two weeks in a hospital. He said I might not be better off than I am now. So, the… Read more »

He thinks my braces are fine. Jo spoke up and told him I liked to go barefooted in the house (summer, but thick socks in winter). He said that is fine. I can go barefoot all I want. Apparently the braces aren’t going to prevent me from getting worse or make me better. Just maybe make walking easier so wear them when I want. His biggest emphasis and all docs say this. KEEP MOVING. so, there you go. He is a great doctor, easy to talk to, knowledgeable. He gave me a 6 month appointment but said if I didn’t… Read more »

wow, i wouldn’t want to do surgery on my feet either then. as for the neck, my DB had something like that if I remember right..and was dizzy and sick, missed work…going to the chiro cured him…when I go I have my chiro use the little activator on my neck, and not the hand manipulations, more gentle and also works great. but you do what you think works best for you. I”m weird like I said, and don’t really like going barefoot (I wear at least socks in the house, mostly shoes) and also like to wear a harness, lol..most… Read more »

Good morning Lynn. My neck really isn’t bothering me so I really don’t think I need to do anything with it. I do like being barefoot in hot weather in the house, we don’t use AC until it is really hot but get by with fans. I wear heavy socks in cooler weather, always socks in shoes.

Lynn

I like just using fans and would like to use them more into the mid to later summer but DH doesn’t want the humidity, he says it makes our house even worse so I compromise and turn it on in between what i think the humidity should be and what he thinks.

Well that says it all. Debbie, if the doctor wouldn’t recommend it for his mother then I wouldn’t do it either. I don’t know what’s going on with your neck. I must have missed that. But I go barefoot all the time. Summer, winter, fall spring and I go barefoot when I go outside half the time

Lynn

That is what I think too. I find doctors answer the “what do you recommend” better if you ask them if they would tell their mother or grandmother to have it.

For PT you really need to do it every day to be affective. It is good to learn the exercises so you can do them frequently.

I think if he thinks you’re not necessarily going to be better off with surgery then you might as well not have it, but even though you’re not keen on physical therapy I see how it could be helpful, I don’t like all that therapy stuff either just for the fact that I don’t like all the running back and forth to appointments lol

Good morning Debbie, sorry about your sleep, You got your doctors opinion that’s good, but what would the surgery entitle? is it a reconstruction? removing a toe?

KyDebbie
February 26, 2026 10:30 am

Reconstruction of the whole foot and ankle. He didn’t mention amputation but I imagine if I got serious about surgery he would. He showed an xray of another patients surgery and there were spikes that looked 4 inches long.
Good morning Sunshine.

That would take a long time to heal, I don’t think I would have it done, I would really have to research how it would be done, we have older bones and the take a lot longer to heal-I would want to know about that

Good morning…drinking my campfire s’mores coffee..it’s Seattle’s best brand..first time trying that brand, it was on sale. The high will be 45 this afternoon so maybe I’ll take the dogs for short walks. Also do a little cleaning. DH gets home later now because he goes in later because a couple caregivers can’t get there that early…so good thing it’s light out later…I just like it that way too, so much nicer and not as depressing.

Good night dear Bella’s. I’m tired tonight. I need to get ready for bed, settle in, look at FB and play a little Solitaire. Those two things help to settle down my brain and thought processes. When I turn over to sleep, it usually takes about 5 or less minutes! Love to all and to all a good night. 🥰♥️
